What Happened to ~Damien Nettles~???

I came across this video of Damien Nettles by following up on a Myspace comment, written by Joe Chisholm.

I was thinking of the tragedy of this case just recently. Anniversaries are excruciating and it is small comfort to families that others know what they are experiencing right now. My family doesn’t know the words either, that would help assuage ambiguous grief but we understand...

Damien Nettles was last seen in the Cowes area of the Isle of Wight on 2nd November 1996.Damien was 16 years old when he was last seen. He was described as 6'3 tall, slim build with brown hair shaved at the back and brown eyes. He was wearing dark fleece jacket and dark blue jeans and black boots. The above photographs show him aged 16 years old and also age progressed to how he may look in his 20's. Police are particularly keen to identify people that were in Yorkies chip shop on the night of Damien's disappearance as per link below: http://www.hampshire.police.uk/Internet/news/casebook/Casebook+-+Damien+Nettles.htm

I pray that you and your family find the answers you need and deserve. No parent should wake every day, wondering where their child is!I know that the years gone by does not make the disappearance of Damien any easier to accept.

I see that Forever Searching has information about Damien posted in a lot of places...Forever Searching is a dedicated, hard working group, that seems to be an awesome blessing for left-behind families!If you have other articles or info you want posted around, please never hesitate to let me know.

It took over ten years to finally make contact with my oldest son. Getting to know the young man, who used to be my 9-year-old twerp, has been an indescribable experience!

Due to 10+ years of extreme alienation, my second son was nervous to meet with me, at first. It didn't take long for his curiosity to overcome his fear, and now he calls me on the phone & emails me, quite often.

My third son has learned much about missing children/persons & his young life has been forever touched by my search for the 2 brothers he didn't even know. It was a joyous occasion when he finally got to meet both of his big brothers!

Information

This is probably quite a controversial question. After all, most of the people I post about has a loved one who is missing without consent.

A parent who adopted their child, signed 'the' paper. They gave permission to allow someone else to raise this child.

Adoption is an issue I have grappled with for quite some time. How dare a person who adopted their child out compare their situation to mine.

Yet as I read about the deception and confusion, in the adoption industry, I question my perhaps too harsh judgements...

Is an adopted child a missing person too?
You decide.

Walk thru the smokescreen and read what it's really like Surviving Adoption Loss from the natural mom's side of the story.Surviving Adoption Loss

BSE adoptee, I was neither "scooped" nor "snatched", but abandoned freely. I am working on coming to terms with that. This is a part of that work.
L'enfant du peche

My son paid over $26,000.00 in child support to his ex and was not ever allowed to see his children. Together he and I paid over $45,000.00 in attorney fees to fight this wrongful adoption.HERE IS THE TRUTH

The majority of society I have spoken to about adoption chose to see it as a beautiful act of love, apparently ignorant of the ugly truth lurking under all the gloss.
Living In The Shadows

She asked questions about me, constantly, until the people who adopted her, feeling insecure, told her a lie.....that I was dead. For years she searched for a grave.MotherhoodDeleted
